It’s just been announced: Brazilian airline BRA has cancelled all its flights, domestic and international alike (anyone wanting more info in Portuguese can read the entry published by the always well-informed Rodrigo Purisch: BRA: Suspende Todos Os Vôos Nacionais e Internacionais).

It would seem BRA has gone bust, cancelling all its flighs and sending employees away.

Hard times for anyone wanting to fly within Brazil. Varig is making anything but a smooth comeback and for the time being we advise extreme caution before buying any flights with Varig.
